Recently I learned 270s on and what I've noticed what's happening is constantly after I land the 270 on, my momentum keeps going and I either fall off early, go to 50-50 or split the rail. I was lucky as on one of my attempts I somehow did a 2 on, too sketchy front 2 off(more of like a 50-50 to 180). Also, I spin to my left and slide right foot forward so when I do 270 on I spin left and land unnat. Do you guys have any tips on staying on the rail after I land? Also whenever I uploaded videos to this it didn't work so I j made a private yt vid. Anyway here are some clips of me doing 270s on.

Attempt 1(this was lucky as I got the sketchy "front 2" off): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kW5skkr4qdc

Attempt 2: https://youtube.com/shorts/cXouKxDwWaI?feature=share

Attempt 3: https://youtube.com/shorts/oqCgqCmoNHE

So if you have any tips on staying on the rail and not sliding out after I land lmk

Do it more with your hips, and focus on landing with your weight on the front ski while pointing your toe down.

Like think about spinning as little as possible and catch the rail by turning your hips like you would with a normal rail. You should really only be rotating 180° and the rest is with your hips

Yeah basically just 180 over the rail and kinda shifty with your skis for the rest and you should lock on better

Yeah a 2 on feels more like a 180 plus a 90 rather than one continuous rotation. If you think about doing that it'll help you stop your rotation.

too much spin in the pop makes you go into 360, just find the sweet spot
